Age: 16


Looks:

Sexuality: He doesn't know-- he doesn't pay much attention to either sex. (Gay)


Mental Illness: Bibliomania


History: His father, a headstrong military man, scorned Quinn's favorite hobby of reading. Quinn did a lot of reading-- being a military family, they moved around a lot. Quinn never had time to make friends, because they were always on to the next city before he could. He turned to books, and as a result, he became obsessed. Last year, Quinn refused to leave the house at all, living in his room instead with his stacks of books. When his father started taking his books away, he started screaming and wouldn't stop until his father put them back in their place. His family sent him here in the hopes he could learn how to make real friends.


Personality: Quinn is reclusive and intelligent. You cannot, under any circumstances, touch his books without permission, because he turns vicious. If you worked hard and became his friend, he's quite sweet and witty.


Favorites (likes/dislikes): Books. Nothing else.

Sexuality: bi


Mental Illness: addiction and anxiety.


History:Emily grew up in a nurturing and fairly normal environment but at age 7 she started to get severe panic attacks. they didnt last very long at first and they were easy to hide, so she did. no body knew. and she suffered is silence. when she was around 11 years old they got worse and she had one when she was at her friends house and she discovered her secret. the next year her panic attacks were imposible to conceal and lasted for hours, so she hid in her room. when she was 13 she discovered that drugs helped get rid of the symptoms. anything she could get her hands on really, weed, alcohol, molly, whatever. she got addicted. when she was 14 she started hearing a static noise in her panic attack that sounded like 100 voices in her head so she took more and more of whatever she was on at the moment. before she was sent to sunny falls she got in a fight with her parents when they found a stash of bottles in her room, she had a panic attack and, being drunk out of her mind, she ran out of the house. she was missing 20 hours before they found her and decided she needed help.

[WhimsicalWriter]

Character Name: Noah Evans


Age: 17


Looks:

Sexuality: Bisexual


Mental Illness: Avoidant Personality Disorder


History: Noah grew up with a rather macho father and a supportive mother. He was always rather quiet than the other kids and didn’t care much for sports, which disappointed his dad. Some of the activities he preferred where more feminine, such as cooking and gardening. Due to this he was ridiculed by his male peers at a young age and started to draw into himself. His antisocial behavior only intensified as the years progressed until finally, at the age of thirteen, his mother decided to take him to a clinic where they diagnosed him as having Avoidant Personality Disorder. Despite his condition his mom was determined to help him in any way she could and was one of the very few people who Noah allowed himself to willingly be around. Unfortunately, she died in a car accident two years later, and he swiftly drew back into his shell. His father, much less understanding than his mother, tried to deal with him for a couple of years but quickly got tired of Noah’s withdrawn and less than masculine traits. This led him to shipping Noah off to Sunny Falls.


Personality: Noah is a very timid and shy person. He tries to avoid social situations as much as possible, constantly afraid of what others think of him. Being extremely sensitive to criticism and rejection, he is paranoid of his own appearance and actions at all times. However he is also lonely and secretly desires affection that he believes that he can never have.


Favorites (likes/dislikes): He likes cooking, gardening, and interacting with most animals. He finds that animals are much easier to be with than other humans. Noah is terrified of crowds or being put on the spot. If anyone were to actually criticize him then he would more than likely break down, unable to handle that his worst fears are being realized.

[PicaPirate]

Character Name: Kai Anthony


Age: 17


Looks:

Sexuality: Straight


Mental Illness: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder


History: Kai grew up in a rough area of Manchester. His primary education was not extraordinary, he was a quiet lad who kept to himself and no one really bothered. However in secondary education it all went FUBAR. At first he would make a few friends, Stanley to name one. He would usually end up however due to Stanley in gang situations, fighting on the streets a lot. For that time he trained ju-jitsu 4-5 days a week after school and would afterwards be in the gang, attempting to fit in. It all changed at 15. He met a bouncy, out going girl (named Alyssa) who was a complete opposite of his personality, quiet and cynical. While initially repulsed by her constant attempts to warm up to him, it eventually get to him. After 6 months, many dates and some film watching later, they got into a relationship. This worked for 6 months, they often chatted and hug in school, meet him after his ju-jitsu and then go home to his and be together. It even reached to a sexual level at one point.


Stanley however grew exceedingly jealous, as Kai now both neglected Stanley and the gang for his girlfriend. One night after ju-jitsu on a Wednesday, he was walking home with Alyssa, Kai and they were ambushed by the gang where they were attacked with knives and makeshift bottles. While Kai would survive the incident, somehow managing to fight off enough to avoid being too critically injured, his girlfriend did not. He would find her in hospital with a cut carotid artery, which meant certain death. This event scarred him for life, physically through the knife and bottle wounds covering his upper and lower body; as well as mentally, blaming himself to be responsible for the incident. Kai has since had events of reliving the events, where his happiness with his late girlfriend would be cruelly snatched from him. He has these anxiety attacks mostly when alone either in school or alone in bed. he has self harmed for his self-blame, adding further scars to his body. He is also known to have had fits of rage, again blaming himself or attacking people who say he killed Alyssa. Having near killed students in the past for these, his parents saw fit for him to be sent away.


Personality: Kai is a person that hides his true feelings behind an emotionless mask. With his mask on, Kai is cold and uncaring. He is straight to the point and very cynical. He almost never smiles and in those very few times when he actually smiles, his smiles are like a twitch of the lips than an actual smile. His eyes are lifeless, which discourages people to talk to him. He puts little effort in lessons, but will study away when he has time to himself, though it is usually from an absence of anything else to take up his time. He occasionally makes cynical remarks about his life or surroundings to himself.


Kai only let go of his mask when he's near the persons he can absolutely trust (which is currently no one). With his mask's off, Kai is actually a very passionate person. He's loyal to his friends and will do everything to help his friends. The reason why Kai has to keep his mask on is because he has become very distrusting due to his past and wishes to not to be hurt the same way he was before.


The only thing he at the moment can release his tensions from are from physical exercise, involving general strength training or hitting punching bags. This and his fighting past (street brawling and ju-jitsu) has led him with levels of physical strength and stamina. He feels more secure when he does so, telling himself he is not weak and can protect people.


Favorites (likes/dislikes): He enjoys exercise and hitting punching bags, but feels no satisfaction for fighting other people, only guilt. He listens to Hardcore electronic music, usually along with exercise. Otherwise he is preferentially alone, staring into the sky. He doesn't like being surrounded by strangers or being patronised. He has a real hate towards people who are unfaithful to their partners and anything with raisins.

Mental Illness:


Substance Exposure (MDMA)


Severe Agoraphobia and Haphephobia


Avoidant Personality Disorder


PTSD

​

Who am I?


"Why wont the needle go through?!."


Tanner has some issues. He's a shy, sweet person at heart. Don't ask him about the past, it haunts him. He knows there are good people in the world, but for some reason he just can't see himself as one of them.


Don't touch Tanner without asking. Just...don't.


Tanner has a knack for creating beautiful things...though he can get lost in his own little worlds he creates. His pencil and paper always were the best way of getting away from all his problems...and his memories.


My Story?


"You never know how much you love someone until your looking at their casket."


With no father or siblings, Tanner only had his Mom to depend on. There was nothing he wouldn't do for her. Everything changed when she was diagnosed with brain cancer. The comfortable life he had always known was shattered, and with his innocence gone he stepped up to take care of the woman who had taken care of him since he was a born. She went into remission and everything seemed to be fine.


So, when she passed away due to an aneurysm, he took it hard.


He was resigned to live with Uncle Marty; a sleazy man with foul intentions for the relationship. The man who seemed to be good and whole-hearted was actually cruel and sociopathic. Tanner didn't know much about sex, until Uncle Marty taught him. Tanner was 14 when he lost his virginity to the man, and after is wad all said and done he was burned for the first time for bleeding on Marty's nice pants. It wouldn't be the last time either event occurred. Tanner didn't know about drugs and how they could leave you defenseless. He would inject Tanner with smack sometimes--if the boy wasn't being raped afterwards, he was being beaten. Uncle Marty didn't hesitate to teach him that he was scum. He wasn't allowed to go to school, or anywhere for that matter, causing him to be afraid of the worst from anything outside his red front door. The poor boy didn't know how to fight back. Uncle Marty thought he never would.


He was right.


By the time anyone noticed, or even cared to hear the screams that had been going on for so long it was too late. The man was locked away, but the boy would always know the pain. Protective Services placed Tanner in Sunny Falls, hoping he could begin to heal.


By the way...


Can be seen drawing hummingbirds and white oleanders


Likes popsicles, his sketchbook, Doritos


dislikes being watched, heat, the dark
